"Xylex resins are a transparent blend of polycarbonate (PC) and an amorphous polyester. Compared to PC, the polyester in Xylex resin provides enhanced chemical resistance against certain fluids, enhancing the resin's stress crack resistance. It also permits lower processing temperatures than straight PC."
Polyethylene is not solvent bondable at room temperature to itself or anything else. My suggestion would be to flame or corona treat the PE to raise its surface energy and then use an ahesive to accomplish the bonding. You might contact people like H.Fuller or other expoy suppliers like 3M for suitable adhesive. The adhesive manufacturer will have to know how many bonds per year you intend to make and your method of fixturing as they are not instant bonds.
The PE abbreviation was just a quick way for me to describe which Xylex material I was talking about. I believe that there are other alloys with the brand name.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the information. I think that I am all set for now as I have spoken with the material supplier. We will need to do our own testing in order to find a level of bonding that is acceptable.
